GREAT EXCITEMENT IN WALES .•boat a marvellous cure. Living Sk Years Without Going To Bed, MB. EDITOR,— WhiIe spending a few days at the pleasant seaside towa of Aberystwitb, Cardiganshire, Wales, I heard relate&what seemed to me either a fabulous story or a marvellous oura. The utory was that a poor sufferer who had not been able to lie down in bed for six long yean, given up to die by all the Dootors, had been speedily cured by some Patent Medicine. It waa' related with the more implloit confidence from the circumstance, as was said, that the Vioar of Llanrystyd waa familiar with the faota, and could vouch for the truth of the report.- ■ Having a little curiosity, to know how suoh stories grow in travelling, I took the liberty while at the village of Lianrjßtyd to call upon the Vicar the Jiev. T. Evans, and to enquire about this wonderful cure. Though a total stranger to hhn, both he and hißwife most rfraoioußly entertained me in a half hour's conversation, principally touching the case of Mr. Pugh, iv which they seemed to take a deep and sympathetic interest, having been' familiar with his sufferings, and now rejoioed in what seemed to them a most remarkable cure. The Vioar remarked that he presumed his name bad been oonneoted with the report' from his having mentioned the case to Mr. John Thomas, a ohemiat of Llanon, He said! Mr. Pugh was formerly a resident of their parish, but was now living in the parish of LlanddtinoL 7 ,• - { He atrongly vouched Mr. Wm. Pugh's' oharaoter as a respectable farmer and worthy of credit. I left the venerable Vioar with a, livelier sense of the happy relation of a pastor and people, feeling that he was one who truly sympathised with all who are afflioted in mind, body, and estate. On my return to Aberystwith, I was impressed with a desire to see Mr. Pugh, whose reputation stood so high. His farm is oallad i/anoom-Mawr, signifying •• above the dingle," situated near tie summit of a smooth round hill, overlooking a beautiful valley in which 1b situated the lovely ivy-mantle 1 Church of Llanddeinol. I found Mr. Pugh, apparently about 40 years old, of medium heigat. rather slight, with a pleasant and intelligent face, I told him I had heard of his great affliction and of his remarkable and almost miraculous relief, and that I had come to learn from his own lips, what there was of .truth in the reports. - Mr. Pugh remarked that his neighbours had taken a kindly and sympathetic interest in bis oase fjr many years, bnt of late their interest had been greatly awakened by a happy change in his condition. What you report of having heard abroad, said he, is substantially true, with one exception. : never understood that my oase was ever given up as hopeless by any Physioian. X have been treated by several Doctors hereabouts, as good as any in Wales, but unfortunately no prescription of theirs ever brought the desired relief. Fifteen years ago, he said, I first became conscious of a sour and deranged stomach and loss of appetite, whioh the Doctors told me was Dyspepsia. What food I could hold in my stomach seemed to do me no good and was often thrown up with painful retchings. This was followed after a time with hoarseness and a raw soreness of the throat - whioh the Dootors called bronohitia, and I was treated for that but with little success. Then came shortness of breath and a sensaof suffocation, especially nights, with clammy sweat, asdl would have to go out of bed aad Bomotimes open a door or window in winter weather to fill my lungs with the cold air. About six years ago I beoame bo bad that I could not sleep in bed. bat had to take ray unquiet rest and dreamy sleep sitting in an armchair. Myaffliotlon seemed to be worklug downward into my bowels aa well as upwards into my lungs and throat. la the violent coughing spasms whioh grew more frequent, my abdomen would expand and collapse and at times it would seem that I shonld suffocate. All this time I was reduced in strength so that I could perform bo hard , labour and my spirita were consequently much depressed. Early in this last spring I had a still more severe spasmodic-attack J and my family and neighbours beoame alarmed, Believing that certainly I would not survive, when a neighbour, who had some knowledge, or had heard of the medicine, sent to Aberystwith by the driver ot the Omnibus Post, some seven miies distand, and fetched a bottle of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. This medicine they administrated to me according to the directions, "when to their surprise and delight no less than my own, the spasm oeased, I beoame at ease, and my stomach calmed. My bowels were moved as by a gentle cathartic, and I felt a sense of quiet comfort all through such as I had not before realized in many years. I could walk around the house and breaths oomfortablyin a few hours after I had taken the medicine, I have oontinued to take the medicine daily now for something over two months, and I can lay down and sleep sweetly at nights and have not since had a recurrence of those terrible spasms and sweatirgs. I have been so long broken down and reduced in my whole system that I have not tried to perform any very hard out-door labour, deeming it beat to be prudent lest by over-exertion I may tie myself injury before my strength is fully restored . I feel that my stomaoh and boweU have been and are being thoroughly renovated and renewed by the medicine. In fact 1 feel like a new man, I have been muoh congratulated by my neighbours, especially by the good Vioar of Llanrystyd, who with his sympathetic wife have come three miles to shed tears of joy on my recovery. I bade Mr. Pugh goodbye, happy that even one at least among thousands had fooad a remedy for an aggravating disease. ■ Believing this remarkable case of Dyepeptio Asthma should be known to the public, I beg to submit the above faots as they are related to me. a3s2hwbap F.
